A Weekend in Bruges

Follow me on Instagram(@ankitabhatia1)

I have a familiarity with Kasauli, built over years of visits , owing easy access in distance from Delhi and a beautiful family cottage in this hill station . I always felt a sense of calm in kasauli, it is tiny in size and still not prominent on the tourist trail. Or so I thought. I went after 2 years and longed for quiet walks, catching up on my reading and not doing much more. Owing to the long weekend, Kasauli was overflowing with tourists, driving crazily on the hilly slopes, drinking, throwing garbage everywhere and creating never ending traffic jams. A local taxi driver mentioned his frustration as he had decided to not drive his taxi around this weekend as it took him 45 minutes to cover a 2km distance. A guest house owner complained that tourists came without booking and got angry due to the non availability of rooms. I wondered if a thing of beauty can remain as is for too long. Can people ever realize the harm they may be causing to a destination they visit. Can policies be put into place to make tourism more sustainable. Can this small beautiful hill station retain its unaffected charm after seasons of peak. I wonder and wonder. The picture reflects the Kasauli I want to remember always #kasauli #himachal #india #hills #travel #sunrise #nature #indiatravel #sustainabletourism #traveller #lovehills #keephillsclean Something about beaches and sunsets #sunset #netherlands #beach #sunset #sand #sun #nature To making new friends - meet the colorful Arabella 🐦 #funnybone #bird #gettingakickoutofthis #netherlands #scheveningenbeach #random #birdonmyshoulder #smilingbutscared #fakesmile ❤️ Amsterdam #building #architecture #amsterdam #houses #netherlands The last few weeks I have been totally out of control health wise, eating what and when I want with hardly any exercise. But it's okay. I know I will get back on track, starting today. And if I do well, I may just reward myself with a pizza with a lovely oozing burrata such as this one, had at Mother's Pizza in Copenhagen. Rewards are good, for accomplishments big or small. I look forward to that day. #motherspizza #pizza #throwback #pizza #copenhagen #denmark #europetravel #copenhagenfood #foodporn #foodie #nomnom #lovepizza #foodgasm #foodpics #foodies #needtoloseweight #tryingtoeathealthy The stunning Copenhagen Opera House ❤️.
